Some Pizza Ain’t So Great

Posted in Uncategorized by

This might seem strange to say, but I have come to the conclusion that there are just some things that don’t belong on pizza. The hitch is that this does vary from one person to another.

One time, I bit into a pizza that had anchovies on it. I thought I was being poisoned. Needless to say, I did not take the second bite. Don’t care what anyone says, anchovies don’t belong on pizza. I am not totally sure, but I am pretty convinced they don’t belong with any food. It does make me wonder just when and where anyone got the idea to ruin a perfectly a good pie like that.

Sometimes it can cause marital disputes. My wife loves Italian sausage. Me…not so much. Fortunately, the pizzerias invented this solution. They only put the stuff on half.

It’s not a perfect solution. If I am not watchful, she will eat my half, leaving only the pizza with the Italian sausage. That way she gets the whole pizza.

Some say pineapple doesn’t have a place on pizza. I guess. Maybe so. My wife pilfers them off before I can get to them.

I do have my way of getting her back. I just order a taco pizza. I know. Lettuce doesn’t belong on pizza but it makes it taste so good. Besides, my wife doesn’t like green leafy veggies so I get the whole pie. Sorta like Italian sausage in reverse, only different.

Now, my younger son would have eaten pizza every day if he could, even to this day. He is a little odd though. He’d just as soon all the toppings be left off. Nothing but cheese. Well, they are cheaper that way.

As a side note. I have been looking for that fella that likes anchovies on his pizza. I’m still looking. Let me see. Did someone say bacon is good on pizza? Might be. Haven’t tried it but bacon is sort of good on anything but ice cream.

That in itself won’t surprise many. What might confuse a few is that one of my most favorite places to get pizza is Subway. About every 10th visit, I will order one of the personal size pizzas.

Certainly, the biggest advantage is that if there are 10 of you, each can have their pizza made to order, or of course, a Subway sandwich. The pizza will be burn your tongue hot. In my youth, I would have enjoyed two of them. These days I do well to finish one.

My wife hates onions and bell peppers. At Subway, I get to have both on my pizza while she need only tolerate the aroma.

Oh, did I mention. Hardly any wait. Far less than a Big Mac.

Incidentally, sometimes I enjoy a good tuna salad. It does more than look good.

My aapologies if I’ve made you hungry. Just figured you should know.

Nowadays, when I want a good quick pizza, I head for Subway. I know. It’s a place that makes sandwiches but they make personal size pizzas too. More than than that, it only takes them a few minutes.

Last night, I ordered one for my wife and one for me. I left the place with pizzas and drinks in hand in about 10 minutes. Some of that was spent at the register and filling the drinks.

They do call them personal size, but I could barely finish mine and my wife ate about half of hers. In our youth, we would have had to order 3 pizzas. Nowadays we have drastically cut back on our eating. (Oddly, we still gain weight.)

At any rate, they were both pepperoni. Mine had bell peppers, onions and olives on it. If either of us had wanted more, they had a wide selection of things they could have piled on them. It is kind of a secondary advantage. They make it to taste, though I guess the pizzerias likely do have a little more of a selection.

After they were prepared, the woman working there popped them in the oven. About two minutes later, they came out piping hot.

By the way, the price was decent too, a little over $10.00.

So the next time you want a personal size pizza, you might want to consider going to a place that makes sandwiches.

Side note: I neither work for nor was I paid in any way for this. I just think when I find a good thing, I should let others know about it.
